On Saturday, November 13, Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello stated that over 90% of insecurity challenges presently facing Nigeria is largely political.
He said this speaking with the Commander-General of HCN, Joshua Osotimehin in his office.
During the meeting, the governor noted that President Buhari acquired a country that was floating security-wise, economic wise and a nation where bombs are being exploded each day in the North-East.
Yahaya Bello went on to state that 90% of the insecurity Nigerians are witnessing today in the country is largely political.
In his words
“President Buhari inherited a country that was drifting security-wise, economic wise and otherwise.
Mr. President inherited a country where bombs are being detonated every day in the North-East even in Abuja.
Mr. President inherited a security system that was already decaying, ill-motivated, ill-equipped and not well trained.
Mr. President has reviewed the welfare package of all the security forces in this country severally.
I make bold to say that more than you can imagine, 90 per cent, of the insecurity we are witnessing today in our country is largely political, be it Boko Haram, banditry and farmers/herders clash, and even assassination sometimes, kidnapping.”
